#the waynes

[waitforthemorningdew]

Had a dream where Bruce died and they built a tomb for him alongside his parents, naming it “The Waynes”. I woke up crying; wtf is wrong with me.

[nigaki]

I think that a sad scene in a time travel fic in which the Batfamily (mainly the Robins) accidentally travel to the past and see Alfred and the Waynes buying stuff for the newborn baby Bruce👶🏻

While they're shopping, the Waynes and Alfred begin to discuss about what things baby Bruce will like when he grows up (ex. Cars), what things they'll have to teach him in the future (ex. How to professionally handle himself in a board meeting), and even tease each other about who baby Bruce will resemble the most.

The Batfamily members temporarily stuck in the past can only watch in sadness at knowing that Alfred is going to be the only of them who will get to see Bruce all grown up.

The kids after returning to the present, collect every memento, every photo of Bruce from his childhood and rest of his life, and create a whole book of milestones that the Waynes would've enjoyed making seeing their boy grow up.

It goes into Thomas' study.

When Bruce finds it, he cries for hours seeing himself as his parents would've seen him.

Next up, we can't forget Alfred!

Drawing him shirtless felt disrespectful, so have a tank-top Alfred.

He doesn't really have a symbol, but Gotham is definitely marking him, so I came up with some marks for him.

The first is the fancy Bat watch that Bruce made for him. It's full of weapons, emergency buttons, and a subtle Bat symbol. That symbol is now marke onto Alfred's wrist beneath the watch.

The other mark comes from the lapel pin that Alfred wears. It was a gift from Martha and Thomas. Its a decorative Wayne W made out of an interlocking A and P. and now its tattooed over Alfred's heart.

Martha Wayne is a mother bear.

Thomas Wayne is a mother hen.

When the manor receives a call from Bruce’s school, and it’s not about their child needing to be picked up and taken home like it usually is, Martha and Thomas are already worried. At the school, the teacher says Bruce bullied a boy at recess.

Martha: Can you tell me exactly what he did?

Teacher (a bit stressed around Martha): At recess, Noah and his friends came up to Bruce, and he humiliated them by saying, ‘Do you need money?’ That’s all, ma’am.

Martha: Bruce, my love. Did they do anything to you before that?

Bruce (silent, hugging Thomas’ leg): Yes…

Martha: Were they the boys who took your lunch money last week?

Bruce: …Yes.

Martha: Thank you, dear. *She turns an angry mother look toward the teacher.* Now, do I have to ask if my son simply assumed those boys needed money for lunch and was offering help… or do you already understand that, ma’am?

Thomas (staring into the teacher’s soul with his big blue eyes): ...

Teacher, a little scared: I… think we’ve resolved this.

Martha (acting sweet again): Amazing! ^^

Back at the manor, safely behind the closed door of their bedroom, Thomas and Martha called that teacher every name they could think of.

Bruce falls to the ground, stumbling over his own feet while following a pretty butterfly. Thomas runs to catch his son, immediately panicking over a simple scraped knee.

Thomas: Bruce, my lord! Are you alright? Does it hurt? Does it hurt a lot or just a little? Oh my goodness, we need to disinfect it! We can put a dinosaur bandage on it if you want—I think I even have a Hello Kitty one—

Bruce: …Daddy.

Thomas: Yes? Yes, Bruce, I’m here.

Bruce: It doesn’t hurt.

Thomas, still holding Bruce’s knee very carefully: …Are you sure?

Bruce: Yes.

Thomas, sighing in relief but still worried: Alright… but we’re still putting a bandage on it. Just in case.

By the end of the day, Bruce spent the entire afternoon lying comfortably on the couch, watching The Gray Ghost. Any time he needed to move somewhere, Thomas would immediately carry him there or move him himself.

Simple. Safe. Wonderful!

Alfred: Sir, are you aware that a scraped knee is nothing more than a normal part of a small child’s life?

Thomas: Alfred… it’s hard to explain, but— look! He’s comfortable!

Bruce, with a mug of hot chocolate, happily watching his favorite show for the entire day: :D

Alfred: ... Of course, sir.

They love their baby, that's it. The waynes when baby Bruce:

Bruce's parents would've been in the Epstein files

I like to think that the Waynes were just very... odd. Similar to the Addams family, very esoteric.

MARTHA HELENNA ARKHAM - KANE

“Can you get me out of here, doc?”

📰 Gotham Gazette – Society & City Life Date: June 1986 “Trouble in High Society: Arkham Heiress Spotted at Iceberg Club”

Martha Arkham, Gotham’s young Arkham-Kane heiress, has returned from a private stay at out-of-town and it seems she hasn’t wasted a moment. Sources report Miss Arkham was seen entering the Iceberg Lounge late last night, accompanied by her cousin Kelly Kane and a known crowd from Gotham’s social underworld. While her family keeps a careful eye on her inheritance, Martha appears to be testing the city’s limits — pink gloves and prim outfits on the outside, rebellion on the inside.
